Conjunctivitis

Post by RPT »

Just woke up with red eye, it started last night, very bad timing as I'm due to go to Siem Reap tomorrow by bus.

Is there a standard treatment here that the pharmacists will dispense, or should I make my way to a hospital?

If hospital, which one?

TIA.

According to Mayo Clinic, you have a brain tumor and/ or meningitis.

Khema Clinic, Naga Clinic, even Central Hospital will do.

You can also go to Ucare Pharmacy and explain your situation.

There are different types of conjunctivitis.
One will go away after a few days with regular eye drops.
One that I had a few years back took 2 weeks to clear up and was painful.

It can be contagious. Better go see a doctor.

Go to Do Seiha, #121 street 110, they will look at it and diagnose which drops you need. Usually it just a bacterial infection, but.....
